How to Waste a Great Deal of Time

(This was written in 1995.)

Much to the chagrin of Jean-loup,
Greg is a Doom nut. This is not to say that he approves of whatever negative
effects its violence may or may not have on kids--and Greg's nieces are Doom
nuts, too, by the way--nor that he believes it's the pinacle of technical
excellence in game programming. Heck, Greg just thinks it's fun, and since
it runs natively under Linux and
Descent doesn't [or didn't at the
time this page was originally written]...well, there you have it.

The middle-right one in the bottom row, for example, makes a fine
telecommunications icon since the spider's chaingun looks kind of like the
rotary dial on an old-style telephone. At least, Greg thinks so... (Then
again, no one has ever accused him of being remotely normal.)

A few of these were converted to OS/2 icon
format but never distributed.

Once upon a time there was a cool place called
DoomGate that had more Doom
info than anyone could ever want, but it died of natural causes sometime
in the final four years of the millenium. But wait! As of 2004 it's
been resurrected elsewhere:

Outstanding! No doubt it has something to do with the August 2004 release
of Doom 3, just over ten years
after the original was released. What a lovely anniversary gift, eh? Now
we just need the Linux version...
